HOOPER PROJECT: Hail Chris Whittington for knifing Hooper in a back alley by answering yesterday’s questions about King Henry of England, the Eighth of that Name. His six wives were Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Ann of Cleeves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr, whose fates are memorialized in the ditty: “Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded survived.” The saints heretic Henry has killed were numerous, including the 40 English martyrs, but the most famous is Saint Sir Thomas More, Henry’s former friend and Chancellor of England, who was probably the most intellectually vigorous man in the world at the time his death. That was really saying something in the early 16th century, when Erasmus, Luther, Loyola, and Francis Xavier were in their primes. Gotta hand it to Henry, he aimed high.
On to today’s fresh new chance to bludgeon your Hoopers, with a four-part weekend special on the Big One: (a) What three nations comprised the main “Allies” in World War II?, (b) What three nations formed the “Axis”?, (c) Who were the political leaders of each of the six countries?, and (d) If the two of us saw each other on Pegasus Bridge at 4:30 on the morning of June 6, 1944, and I whispered, “Flash!” to you, what would you have said back to me?
